Hey dude! Correction to be made.......... the longest word in English is :

FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION

This name is given in full on thepeople do no
However, there is a place with an even longer name in New Zealand. It is the name of a hill. Here it is:
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiw en uaitnatahu.

Longest disease is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis, defined by the OED as "a factitious word alleged to mean 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust' but occurring chiefly as an instance of a very long word.

However, the longest official word ever (1,913 letters) is the term for the formula C1289H2051N343O375S8
